England is to have six delegates nl the disarmament conference and the Tnited States only four. Now you may expect the republican press to shout the unfairness of this.

ft —^— — ~11 I A mother’s problem — what food gives back the energy a child uses up daily? \ CBHILDREN use up a tremendous amount of I energy every day. Every mother of a , healthy, sturdy youngster will testify to this. Children need richly nourishing food to supply this energy, and also to supply food for growth. The selection of this food is your most important duty. You cannot give too much care to this matter. Grape-Nuts, the rich, wholesome cereal, made from whole wheat flour and malted barley, with milk or cream, supplies very neces- , sary requirements for the growing child. If you want to help your children to be rosy, sturdy, full of vitality and vigor, give them plenty of delicious Grape-Nuts, crisp, sweet and satisfying. Go to your grocer today and get a package of health-building Grape-Nuts. Give the youngsters this invigorating food with milk or cream, and see how they will thrive on it and grow strong, robust and sturdy. Grape-Nuts—the Body Builder “There’s a Reason”

1 William Honey. former mayor of Port Wayne and luter dethroned as loader, is eertuinly registering a , comeback which makes Jokuuy Kll- . bane look like a piker, llosey is re- ■ coivlm: the support of every faction , and hundreds of republicans who now realize his honesty aud his ability. It is predicted thut he will win easily in the November election. A lot of people are wondering Just what the unemployment conference called by the president will try to do. They have barred the labor heads and eo far have given out no definite plan or program. Just how these financial leaders expect to provide jobs for the ten million men out of work has not bceif guessed but; 15 4k provides something for the delegates ut least and the committees named will probably get free cakes for several months. It may tide them over the winter. Miss Robertson of Oklahoma, only woman in congress, is a candidate for re-election. Hers is a peculiar I position.

I her district and could not look after both Jobs. She is sticking to her eat and tiiere are other members of congress who might tie well to follow her example. She hus not missed a roll call on an Important measure and when she feels It necessary, opposes the League of Women Voters. That takes courage. Governor McCray is soon to move Into iho handsome home provided by the city of Indianapolis for tho governor of the state. The home is located ou a site* overlooking Fall Creek. The last legislature appropriated the modest sum of $200,000 to do a 111 tie repairing übout the place and this money is now being • xponded. The governor is entitled to i. place in which to live hut the . veruge man would find it difficult to maiataiu such a commodious place (.n the salary of $8,500 provided the chief executive. i ii ii—imrin Adams county people should interest themselves in the matters concerning the organization of an Indiana finance board to take care of the leans to farmers. A board was named last week with Hon. Evans Woolens of Indianapolis as the head and within a short time it is hoped aud expected they will be ready for business. Simil-’r organizations in lowa and Missouri and in several states in the east have changed conditions greatly and made possible better times. We do not doubt that this will he the result here. When the “monkey wrench” was thrown into the machinery of the Federal Farm Loan bank Jaw two years ago the hard times began. When we cripple the farmer we mighty soon get up against it. If any local assistance will bring about the relief in Indiana which has come to other states, we are sure it will be gladly given by farmers, merchants and banks. c REAL BATTLE IN LEGION PICTURES “Flashes of Action” Will Be Shown Here Sept 28-29. It was at 4:35 o'clock in the morning of July 18, 1918, when the famous One Hundred and Third infantry, U. S. army, went over the top and against tremendous odds took the town of Torcy, France, in 25 minutes. Thrilling newspaper stories told of the capture to millions of war hungry patiiots over here. Eiacatur residents will have an opportnity of seeing the battle as it really happened in "Flashes cf Action,” which will be presented at the Mecca theatre for two days, commencing Sept. 28, by special arrangements with the U. S. government. Another thrilling espisode is the attacking of an American balloon by a German plane. The German succeeds in setting tire to the balloon, but anti-aircraft guns force the lioche aviator to land behind the American lines. Eddie Rickenbacker, America's “ace of aces,” is shown in action. A squadron of aeroplanes, led by Lieutenant. Quentin Roosevelt, is shown leaving for battle. Another thrilling part of the picture is the Thirty-Ninth and Fifty-Eighth infantry advancing under machine gun. artillery fire, between Montfaucon and N-antillois, Mjeuse, France, on Sept. 28. 1918. The “doughboys” are shown advancing amid the bursting shells. A number of men are shown falling in action, and the Red Cross men rpndei* first aid as the Americans drive on and on to victory. The above are but a few of the many thrilling scenes contained in “Flashes of Action.” It took the experts of the photographic section, signal corps. IT. S. army, two years to select the scenes that make up this picture. It is without doubt the best war picture ever assembled. Don’t miss this epoch-making film. HAVE YOU BORROWED?

Population of the United States By Color or Race. (Revised) \ Washington. D. C., Sept. 22. — The Bui eau of the Census, Department of Commerce, today issued a statement ' giving revised figures for the composition of the population of the United States according to color or race, as shown by the census taken as of January 1, 1920. Distribution by Color or Race. The total population of the United States, 105,719,620, comprises 94, 820.915 white persons, 10,463,131 Negroes, 244,437 Indians, 111,010 Japanese, 61.639 Shinese, 4.603 Filipinos, 2,507 Hindus, 1,224 Koreans, and 154 others (Siamese, Hawaiians, Malays, Maoris, and Samoans). The corresponding figures for 1910 were as follows: 81,731,957 white persons, 827,763 Negroes, 265,683 Indians, 72.157 Japanese. 7T.531 Chinese, 160 Filipinos, 2.545 Hindus, 462 Koreans, and 8 others (Maoris). The rates of increase for the principal races during the decade were: Total population. 14.9 per cent..; white, 16 per cent.; Negro, 6.5 per cent.; Japanese, 53.8 per cent. The Indian population decreased by 8.0 per tent, and the Chinese population by 13.8 per cent. White Population. The rate of increase in the white population during the recent decade, 16 per cent., is considerably less than the corresponding rate for the period 1900-1910, which was 22.3 per cent. This decline is accounted for mainly by the great reduction in the volume of immigration during the period of the World War. An estimate based on the excess of births over deaths and on the excess of immigration ‘ over emigration yields a total differing by only a fraction of 1 per cent, from the total white population enumerated. Negro Population. The rate of Increase in the Negro ! population, which is not perceptibly affected by immifigration of emigra- . tion. is by far the lowest on record. Such data as are available in regard to birth and death rates among the Negroes indicate that the birth rate has dcreased considerably since 1900, while the death rate has not changed greatly. The following statement shows the ’ Negro population in 1920 and 1910, with the rates of increase during the ' past two decades, for the South, the North, and the West. The Hue be--1 tween the North and South follows the ? northern boundaries of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia. Kentucky, 1 Arkansas, and Oklahoma. The West 1 is that part of the country lying west of the eastern limits of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Now Mexico. The total numerical increase in the Negro population during the decade was 635,368. Os this increase. 472,564, or nearly three-fourths, took place in fjie North and West, while I only 162,804, or about one-fourth, was :1 reported for the South, despite the P fact that about 85 per cent., of the | total Negro population is still found ,-. in the South. / a Without exception, the northern and western states which border on the ® South reported greater, rales of inII crease in Negro population than tlffe 5. average for? the country, and in sevA eral of these,states the rates were j very large—for example, in Illinois, 67.1 per cent.; in Ohio, 67.1 per cent.;

ONLY POWERFUL MEDICINE WILL END RHEUMATISM It matter* not whether you have had agonizing pulns from rhe-imatlsnt for 20 yeara or distressing twlnchings for 20 weeks. Rheuma Is stronß enough and mighty and powerful - nough to drive rheumatic poisons from your body and abolish all misery or money back. The Holthouse Drug company and all druggists sell Rheuma on a no-cure-no-pay basis. A larßc bottle Is inexpensive, and after you take the small doso as directed once a day for two days you should know that ut last you have obtained a remedy that will couquer rheumatism. For over ten years throughout America llheuma has been prescribed by broad-minded physlcluns and has releused thousands front agony, puin and in Pennsylvania, 46.7 per cent, Thu lust mentioned stute has u larger Negro population than either Maryland or Kentucky. The greatest rate Os growth in Negro population reported by any state having more than 10,000 Negro inhabitants appears for Michigan, 251 per cent., the Negro population of this state having increased from 17,U5 in 1910 to 60.082 in 1920. Indian Population. The decrease in tho Indian popula tion, as enumerated, is probably to be accounted for in part by the enumeration, as Indians in 1910 and as whites in 1920. of certain persons having only slight traces of Indian blood. In 1910 a special effort was made to secure a complete enumeration of all pet sons having any perceptible amount pi Indiana blood, for the purpose of preparing a special report showing tribal relations, purity of Indian blood, etc.; and it is probable! tliut for this reason a considerable! number of persons who would ordin-1 arily have been reported as whites | were enumerated as Indians in 1910. This assumption is home out by a ; comparison of the totals shown for the Indian population at the last four censuses—the only ones at which a j complete enumeration of the Indian | population has been attempted. These are: 1920, 244,437; 1910, 265,083; 1900, 237.196; 1890, 248.263. Os the total decrease in the Indian population between 1910 and 1920, amounting to 21.246. by far the greater part, 17,488, took place in Oklahoma alone. The only pronounced increase was reported for North Carolina —from 7,851 to
